Kaikki on kemiaa by Bonnie Garmus

astrochoreo's review against another edition

3.5

I would have rated this book much higher if the writing style was better. My biggest pet peeve in fiction is when an author writes an everyone-POV with extremely messy POV shifts. This entire book felt like a stream of consciousness combination of every character, in a way that was very hard to follow and overall made reading this book not very enjoyable. Despite that, I feel the story itself was very beautiful and poignant. I wish that the book had been written in a more cohesive way so that the story could have been enjoyed more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though I really thought I wouldn’t.

Elizabeth Zott is a beautifully written and very well thought-out. She’s a refreshing character, and while frustrating at times, Garmus did a brilliant job of making you really feel for her.

Calvin’s death broke me, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive her for that…</spoiler/>

maybe i will give this book another try in the near future, however, the book never grasped my attention while reading. the story and character building were good but, the dog felt unnecessary(?)... maybe i just needed to keep reading for the dog haha

as someone who has read a lot of books with diverse characters and non-fiction books about feminism/by feminist authors, this book was just surface level white woman feminisms-- this is prob what made me feel slowly more disinterested in the book

regardless, i am willing to give this book a second chance as i am curious as to how it ends

Yep, a five star read. The commentary on male chauvinism, racism, and religious fallacies is presented with deep understanding while keeping the read fun and lighthearted. The addition of Six Thirty's POV was a stroke of genius. A must read!
